Oliver's Ski Day

After Patrick's ski lesson invite, Oliver was fired up.  The lesson was from 1-4 at Loveland and the guys had a leisurely drive up late morning, after the crazy I-70 traffic.  The boys were on fire and storming toward the lodge.
There was plenty of fresh snow for some nice turns.

Once at the lodge, Oliver was fitted for Ski Gear.
 
Then... the memory card on the camera was full.  Major Bummer!!
However, Keith did send this photo from his phone of Oliver and Owen geared up and ready for their lesson.
They did VERY well and are well on their say to being black diamond skiiers.  Oliver learned his turns a bit better and can stop on his own.  Owen prefers the straight down method with someone tackling him at the bottom, but he always has been a bit more fearless than Oliver.  We're hoping to get Oliver up for a few more lessons this year to get him well on his way.

Here is a video Patrick took.
You'll see Owen on the left and Oliver on the right with Keith giving a push.
